[0017] Below is a further detailed description of the present utility patent based on the figures.

[0018] The present embodiment only shows an explanation of the present utility patent and it is not a limitation to the present utility patent. The skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment as needed without making any creative contributions after reading this specification, which are always protected by the patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility patent.

[0019] It should be noted that when an element is called as being “fixed to” or “arranged on” another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is called as being “connected to” another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0020] It should be noticed that the terms “length”, “width”, “above”, “below”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inside” and “outside” which indicates the orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the figures. They are only for facilitating describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or component must have a specific orientation, construct and operate in a specific orientation, therefore, it understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0021] In addition, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as “first” and “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of these features. In the description of the present invention, “a plurality of” means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0022] This embodiment relates to a power-assisted fitness exercise equipment, as shown in FIGS. 1-6, comprising: a frame 1, a thrust training mechanism 2 and a tension training mechanism 3. The thrust training mechanism 2 is connected to the frame 1 and is used for bodybuilders to perform vertical thrust training. The tension training mechanism 3 is connected to the frame 1 and is used for bodybuilders to perform tension training. The tension training mechanism 3 comprises: two sets of counterweights 301, two sets of pulley components 302 and two sets of pulling wires 303. The two sets of counterweights 301 are arranged at bottom on both sides of frame 1 respectively. Two sets of pulley components 302 are arranged oppositely to each other. A part of each set of pulley components 302 is arranged on a set of counterweights 301 and the other part is arranged on one side of the frame 1. Two sets of pulling wires 303 are arranged oppositely to each other, and each set of pulling wires 303 is respectively arranged on a set of pulley components 302. One end of the pulling wires 303 is connected to the thrust training mechanism 2, and the other end of the pulling wires 303 is pulled by the bodybuilder to drive a set of counterweights 301 to move up and down.

[0023] It should be noted that two sets of pulling wires 303 of the tension training mechanism 3 are respectively connected to the thrust training mechanism 2, so that when the bodybuilder performs vertical thrust training of weight lifting through the thrust training mechanism 2, the tension training mechanism 3 can hinder the bodybuilder from lifting the thrust training mechanism 2, and at the same time, the tension training mechanism 3 can hinder the thrust training mechanism 2 from moving vertically downward under the action of its own gravity, thereby achieving to slow down the falling speed of the thrust training mechanism 2 and avoid the thrust training mechanism 2 to fall on the bodybuilder and cause injury.

[0024] The bodybuilder can pull one end of one set of pulling wires 303 or of two sets of pulling wires 303 at the same time, the pulling wires 303 will pull one set of counterweights 301 or two sets of counterweights 301 through the pulley component 302, so that the bodybuilder can perform tension training according to different needs.

[0026] There are two first guiding rods 201. The two first guiding rods 201 are arranged oppositely on both sides of the frame 1. Both of the two first guiding rods 201 are vertically distributed. The guiding sleeve 202 is arranged on the first guiding rod 201 and can slide up and down relative to the first guiding rod 201. There are two guiding sleeves 202, and the two guiding sleeves 202 are respectively sleeved on the two first guiding rods 201, and can slide up and down relative to the first guiding rod 201. The two guiding sleeves 202 are respectively connected to one end of the two sets of pulling wires 303. The barbell rod 203 is arranged horizontally in the frame 1, and the positions near ends of the barbell rod 203 are fixedly connected to two guiding sleeves 202 respectively. One part of the guiding sleeve 202 is sleeved on the barbell rod 203 and the other part is sleeved on the first guiding rod 201. Specifically, the guiding sleeve 202 comprises a transverse sleeve and a vertical sleeve. The transverse sleeve is sleeved on the barbell rod 203. A first fixing piece is integrally arranged on outer side wall of the transverse sleeve, and the vertical sleeve is sleeved on the guiding rod 201. A second fixing piece is integrally arranged on outer side wall of the vertical sleeve. The first fixing piece and the second fixing piece face to each other and are fixed by screws.

[0027] Optionally, in order to realize the connection between the tension training mechanism 3 and the thrust training mechanism 2 and realize that the counterweight 301 hinders the movement of the barbell rod 203, a fixing ring 204 is arranged on one side of the guiding sleeve 202 away from the barbell rod 203. The tension training mechanism 3 further comprises two first limiting parts 319 and two handles 318. One end of each set of pulling wires 303 is connected to a handle 318, and the other end is connected to a first limiting part 319. In this embodiment, one end of the pulling wire 303 can be detachably connected to the first limiting part 319 through a threaded structure. The first limiting part 319 can be connected to the fixing ring 204 through a strap or a ring buckle. In other embodiments, one end of the pulling wire 303 is embedded in the first limiting part 319 and is integrally arranged with the first limiting part 319. Specifically, the tension training mechanism 3 further comprises: two second limiting parts 320, and two ends of each second limiting part 320 are respectively connected to one end of a set of pulling wires 303 and a handle 318. The second limiting part 320 can be connected to the pulling wires 303 through a threaded structure, and the second handle 318 can be detachably installed on the second limiting part 320 through a strap or a ring buckle.

[0028] Optionally, the thrust training mechanism 2 further comprises: two first columns 207, which are oppositely arranged on the frame 1 and located on sides of the first guiding rod 201. A plurality of clamping rods 208 are equidistantly arranged on inner sides of the first columns 207 along the height direction, and two hooks 209 are arranged on the barbell rod 203 close to the two guiding sleeves 202.

Specifically, one end of the hook 209 is in the shape of a hook that can be connected with the clamping rod 208, and the other end is in the shape of a ring that is sleeved on the barbell rod 203.

[0029] It should be noted that the above structure facilitates the adjustment of the height of the barbell rod 203. After the height of the barbell rod 203 is adjusted, the hook 209 can be rotated so that the hook 209 is suspended on the clamping rod 208 to limit the position of the barbell rod 203 and fix it. When the barbell rod 203 needs to be used for fitness, the hook 209 can be rotated to separate the hook 209 from the barbell rod 203, and then the barbell rod 203 can be moved up and down for weight training.

[0030] Preferably, two armrest 210 are fixedly arranged in middle of the barbell rod 203, and a shoulder pad 211 is arranged between the two armrests 210. The arrangement of the armrests 210 and the shoulder pads 211 facilitate the bodybuilder to perform weight training and reduces the barbell rod 203 from directly acting on the bodybuilder's shoulders. Specifically, a metal plate is arranged between the two armrests 210 and close to one side of barbell rod 203, and the width of the metal plate is greater than the diameter of the barbell rod 203.
